They are kind of klunky. But all I have messed with shoot pretty darn good....but a rem VT will too....also I always had great success with the mod 70 push feeds they are real nice actions and have always shot great.....if you want a cheap accurate beater truck gun the savage is it....if you want to trick out a bolt action start with a good platform....a push feed model 70 can be had cheaper than a savage and you get a good trigger and 3 pos safety and you don't have to look at that hidious barrel nut...
